Battlefield 3 Bans Gone Wrong?

The Battlelog forums and reddit each feature threads with posts from a surprising number of users claiming they've been banned from playing Battlefield 3 online due to PunkBuster violations in spite of no wrongdoing. Kotaku points the way to an apparent explanation on a site that sells and supports cheats for the game where posts describe a systematic campaign that's currently underway to get innocent users banned to demonstrate the fallibility of the PunkBuster methodology. A recent post to Battlelog from a moderator says: "PB is having an issue at the moment.. DICE and EA are working with Even balance to find cause and fix it asap!" Thanks The Grifter.

Can't say I'm surprised. PunkBuster has always been a POS that has done zilch to stop cheating and only consumes memory in your machine via the required windows service that they force install without asking (in most games), and that you HAVE to have running if you play online in 99.5% of the servers.

The only way to have relatively cheat-free online play is public server files and dependable admins. Of course, the DICE guys know that and prefer having pay servers and no real cheat protection. Yet another reason not to buy BF3.
